Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

Wore Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge on Monday and got three compliments. One kept asking the name again and again. needless to say, that I have order it. The following day, I wore MPG Ambre Precieux with similar results. Well, that one is on the post coming my way also. What can I say. I'm a sucker for good smelling stuff. I must say, that stuff smell wonderful. They will probably be in my top 10 to 20.

Could just be a good week, though.

To find out if you are the one on fire--and not your choices--you should have a proper heat check.

Obviously, that means Black Aoud or Kouros tomorrow.

Wore Kouros last wednesday ans no complaint but then again no compliments. Black aoud actually had gotten compliments when I wear it.
Just about every time. I'm thinking maybe Aventus to make out a great week.lol

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

Like others, I use this thread on more of 'as the compliment comes' basis.

Anyways, today I received recognition on my fragrance, but no compliment. I think she maybe just forgot to compliment me.

I was at the bank exchanging some rolled quarters for bills. The teller (probably 40 years old or so), asked me what I was wearing. It was Quicksilver, which is an exceptionally good natural smelling sandalwood based fragrance. So I told her, and she goes "no that's not it" - "it smells like something my husband wears". I then tried to help her figure it out, and she said she couldn't remember, she'd look when she got home. I told her that the note she was likely smelling was sandalwood, which is a very common fragrance note. I then started to get into how there are so many fragrances now and all; she seemed interested, but was preoccupied with work.

She didn't actually compliment me, though the scent I was wearing made her think of her hubby, I guess that's not a bad thing. I might put Quicksilver to the test soon, wear it for a few days straight and see what sort of reaction it gets. I think it's one of the better sandalwoods out there.

A bit of an exaggeration. Plus, if you asked 100 women, they would probably respond with something that not only something that smells good but it'll have to be something they're frequently exposed to and recognize.

A better indication would be a blind smell test. There are probably hundreds of fragrances that have barely any mention in this thread but would handily beat Acqua di Gio in a duel.

AdG is a great scent and no doubt that women love it. I'm just saying that we should take these tallies with a grain of salt.

Also, I find that a fragrance that gets a lot of compliments isn't necessarily the most attractive to the opposite sex. The fragrance that gets me the most compliments is Aventus. The pineapple note is sharp and noticeable. It is an attention getter and it will draw tons of compliments. People can't help but say something about it when they catch a whiff.

Dior Homme rarely gets me verbal compliments. It's smooth and quiet. However, I've had more girls/women try to smell me without me noticing, pull me closer to talk to me when it's clearly unnecessary, lean over me or straight up putting their noses to my neck and taking a big whiff. Dior Homme is not a compliment getter but it is straight up irresistable to younger women(while it lasts lol).

I like both Aventus and Dior Homme, but while Aventus gets more verbal compliments, I consider Dior Homme my most 'attractive' fragrance. I'm sure everyone has a similar experience with some of their fragrances.
Take compliments with a grain of salt too!

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

I think it's good to remember that some females won't tell a guy if he smells good because it can sound like a pick up line. I know I've wondered what a guy was wearing because it smells great but I would never say anything because well, most guys would think you were coming on to them. So women like me, we silently appreciate aha.

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

I am always amazed at how people can associate smells with people, situations, locations, memories, etc. Up to this date, I cannot wear Carolina Herrera. I would wear it 16 years ago, when my then college girlfriend now beautiful wife, found out she was pregnant. Well, needless to say that she morning nausea often, and somehow in her brain, she associated my fragrance with her nausea. Now, everytime she smells it, she feels like she is going to thow up. This does not mean the CH is a bad fragrance. Is just that one person has bad associations with it. The same could go for any fragrance. I am sure that some women out there would have the same opinion for AdG.

Most definitely. A compliment is not needed. You can also tell enough by a persons body language, and what not.

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

By far, most complimented for me is New Haarlem. I blew through my 7ml bon bon and picked up the full bottle. I sprayed 4 when I got the bottle from the post office, walked into a gas station and the guy working at the gas station (alpha male type), after giving me my money, said, "What kind of cologne are you wearing?" and proceeded to write down the name and where he could find it (he did not ask the price, but said "I will be getting this..."). He then said something like, "this seems like what Eternity was trying to do..but way better." I didn't see the comparison at all, but nodded and said I love the coffee note.

Literally 10 minutes later I walk into a Starbucks after filling up and two of the baristas near the counter collude together and whisper for a second, and then come together and say, "Uh...We were both just thinking that you smell REALLY good."

This is how I got 3 compliments in 10 minutes from wearing this fragrance. Not normally one to dwell on this factor but this one resonated.

Re: Best Cologne to Sedce the ladies.

sigh... just look at the stickied thread above. I'm not hating its just, you are gonna get A LOT of hate for this thread... please try to understand its nothing personal but basenotes literally gets this question maybe once every two weeks and it gets tiring really fast for most members.

Re: Best Cologne to Sedce the ladies.

That guy who said "getting girls." he meant getting numbers or getting pu$$y.
That is not what i meant, i just meant "girls coming to you," that is it. nothing more nothing less.

Estrogen, the primary hormone running through a woman's body, is a receptive chemical. Unless you're famous, you'll rarely be approached by a girl - it's just not in them. It's your job as a man to do the approaching.

Re: Best Cologne to Sedce the ladies.

I am not talking about getting girls, i am not talking about personality. I am strictly talking about wearing a cologne and once you're in a restaurant, bar clubs or wherever, they COME to you.

Then you're not talking about real women because that only happens in commercials and trashy romance novels. No one should be able to smell you across a crowded room, and certainly not in a restaurant, unless you're wearing too much and/or the ventilation is dodgy.

A good EdT, with enough projection and sillage to be noticed as one of you walks past the other, simply provides the adventurous soul an opening line. Your best bet is always to find what matches your public image, tastes, and body chemistry, preferably just unique enough to remind your date only of you.

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

I've been wearing D&G The One alot lately since I find it so versatile and while many have issue with it's projection and longevity it's hard to deny it's a great scent. I usually go off spraying this on using 6-8 sprays. I find it lasts a good 6-8 hours and gets decent projection but for sure it still remains a close up experience. Although even with all the supposed power issues with it I have been getting quite a few compliments on it. It's been a great frag for drawing women in closer for a better smell.

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

Forget fragrance, if you want to grab the attention of fine females, get in shape. They'll notice - big time. I can't stress this enough. You don't have to be ripped, just be in slightly better shape than the average guy and you're golden. To the ladies, Aventus, AdG, GIT, etc, etc, etc all pale in comparison to having a flat stomach. Try P90X or similar home workout routines, which are designed to quickly reshape your body. It's unreal how quickly your body can tighten up in just a few months. You don't even need weights, just some $20 resistance bands will work great.

If your goal is to attract women by using your cologne as the bait, there are better ways to do it.[/Soapbox Rant]

I agree 100%

A couple years ago I broke my arm, but still ran to keep in shape. I was working in Europe and bruised my heel after a run, probably the cobblestones... anyway, end result of broken arm, bruised heel + expense account for food and drinks = a bunch of gained weight. Now, I am ok and the fat is gone... my experience is that a little extra weight around the middle really hurts your chances with women.

Another thing that makes a much bigger difference that your cologne is clothing, hair and shoes. If you look well dressed and are in shape you're already doing better than most guys. Add a nice scent and the ability to carry a conversation and women might think you have something to offer...

So let me see, be in shape, have nice hair, dress nice, be suave like casanova. But why stop there? Might as well add; look like greek God, Adonis, and let us not forget to have perfect nice white teeth, oh, and have money to throw around while you drive your Ferrari around town. LOL

Could not help myself. While we are pointing out the obvious why not just write it all down.

Good points. Thanks to a lot of bad advice, I was under the assumption that women didn't care that much about looks, but in fact they do very much. Sometimes the obvious is elusive. I figured that just not being overweight was enough. For me, the response has been amazing, it's like stumbling across a secret potion that attracts women. I'm just saying the secret potion isn't the perfect fragrance, although it can be an ingredient, albeit a minor one. If you look on any on the pheromone forums, it's filled with guys spending tons of time and money in hopes that some chemical secretion is going to get them girls. If they spent that time doing pushups instead, the results would be far better.

Yes indeed. I saw a service that rents out attractive female companions for just that purpose. For $40 an hour the girl accompanies you to the bar or club and essentially provides the "social proof".

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

Whatever, dude! An attractive man is a confident man. A confident man will make whatever physical situation look better. A man that picks a great fragrance that suits him, bonus points!

I have a friend who's so sweet, great looking, kick boxes, and totally buff. Women are intimidated! Too bad he's like a little brother to me. His cologne, Silver Factory and Brooklyn from Bond no 9 (by my introduction)!

I hate to say it, but it's true... women are way more attracted to guys who have female companions with them. I'm not saying this is true for all women, but it is considered one of the strongest ways to attract women and for good reasons I don't need to go into here.

Also, and this isn't directed at you Kalynne, but it is very interesting how many women don't understand why they are attracted to certain men. It's almost as bad as men that don't understand how they attract women (if at all). I don't understand how the great majority of people have no clue about social psychology/dynamics.

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

A bit off track, but if a man is with another woman, the assumption is that he has some sort of desirable quality and that he must be confident. This causes women to wonder. We're all about thoughts and feelings. The more we think about a guy, the more we're interested. I don't think most women with a healthy self esteem would go after a guy who was taken, but at a club they might check out the situation to see if he's available. It works both ways.

Remember, a guy who smells good, gives us chicks extra to think about even if we don't directly give you a compliment!

Kalynne, what's your definition of confident? Would you give some examples? thx

Surface would be just behaving as though you're comfortable and in control if your presence. Hopefully, what's behind that is integrity and goodwill to all people. It's not about being perfect, but doing the best you can at that time with a sense of self. Example, if you're serious, don't try to be something you're not. If you're quirky, embrace it!

Re: Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

Hi All,
This is my first post. I'll try to stick to the topic, even though the thread seems to have turned into a "how to pick up girls" thread.

After lurking on basenotes for a while I have started to put together a small wardrobe. So far I have picked up Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta, and Creed Green Irish Tweed. On top of these I have several samples - one of those being Aventus.

Out of my wardrobe and many samples, Aventus has been far and away the most complimented. Yesterday I received three compliments on it.

First, the woman I am seeing could not stop smelling my neck when I picked her up after work. She is into fragrances as well, and will always notice if I am wearing something new, but she is very critical (which is good) about whether or not she likes it (so far all my picks have been approved by her). This one she really loved. She also compliments me often on the Colonia Assoluta.

Second, I was in a cigar lounge that I frequent last night. After the place slowed down one of the bartenders came over and sat down to chat me for a while. In mid sentence she stopped and asked if if was wearing "cologne" and what it was. She said it smelled great, and had a very fresh smell. "Not like those heavy scents most men wear in here" she said.

Finally, later last night I got a text from another from a woman that also works at the lounge asking me what cologne I was wearing. She said that in lingered on her shirt after I gave her a hug, and it smelled amazing. She joked that she was not going to wash her shirt for a while.

At the end of the night in the elevator my girlfriend could not stop sniffing my neck. This was roughly 6-7 hours after applying Aventus.

I also want to thank all the members of basenotes who helped inform my purchasing decisions. Your posts have helped me out greatly, and opened my eyes to fragrances that I may have never considered before.

Hey man, welcome to BN.

Cool! I wore Aventus today and got complimented on it while I was in line at Trader Joe's. Remember, your reply to their compliments should always be "You've got expensive taste, babydoll" while snapping your fingers, then pointing your index finger toward them and nodding with a sly, knowing look on your face.

Welcome to Basenotes!

You have put together a nice wardrobe already. I am going to have to push Aventus and Pure Malt up on my sampling list.
